PRECIPITATION. 

Oil  Chart  No.  1  is  shown  the  mean  animal  rain  fall  of  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory. 
Although  the  rain-fall  along  the  immediate  coast  of  the  Pacific  Ocean,  ranging  from  70  to  over  107 
inches,  is  the  heaviest  in  the  United  States,  yet,  contrary  to  the  generally  received  opinion,  this 
enormous  rain-fall  does  not  cover  the  entire  area  of  these  States,  but  only  G  per  centum  of  them. 
On  the  other  hand,  it  has  been  represented  that  the  interior  portions  of  Oregon  and  Washington 
Territory  were  almost  rainless.  The  fallacy  of  this  statement  is  shown  by  Chart  No.  1,  whereby 
it  appears  that  the  smallest  recorded  rain  fall,  at  Pleasant  Grove,  for  two  years  and  four  months, 

5 


;6^-        t  .'.  CLIMATE  OF  OREGON  AND  WASHINGTON  TERRITORY. 

is  over  9.5  iucbrs.  The  area  over  which  less  than  10  indies  of  rain  fulls  does  not  cover  5  per 
centum  of  either  State,  and  by  a  curious  coincidence  it  appears,  by  the  report  of  Second  Lieutenant 
Frank  Greene,  Signal  Corps,  on  the  Interior  Wheat  Lauds  of  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory, 
that  over  the  greater  part  of  this  region  of  small  rain-fall  wheat  is  grown  without  irrigation. 
Indeed,  according  to  Lieutenant  Greene's  report,  crops  can  be  grown  in  nine-tenths  of  both  these 
States  without  irrigation,  and  in  the  other  tenth  it  is  probable  that  on  this  point  the  character  of 
the  soil  has  as  important  a  bearing  as  deficient  rain-fall.  An  examination  of  Charts  2  and  3,  of 
the  mean  seasonal  rain-fall  for  the  wet  season,  from  October  to  April,  and  the  dry  season,  from  May 
to  September,  discloses  that  in  the  eastern  half  of  these  States  the  rain-fall  during  the  dry  season 
is  about  half  what  it  is  during  the  wet  season.  It  follows  from  this  equable  distribution  of  rain-fall 
throughout  the  year,  that  agricultural  operations  are  more  fruitful  with  a  small  rain-fall  than  in 
some  sections  of  other  States  with  considerably  larger  precipitation.  The  idea  is  also  prevalent 
that  during  the  wet  season  the  rain  is  continuous.  Chart  No.  4,  showing  the  average  number  of 
rainv  days  in  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory  from  October  to  March,  inclusive,  exhibits,  the 
exact  condition  of  affairs.  Along  the  coast  and  adjacent  sections  of  Oregon  and  Washington 
Territory,  where  rainy  days  are  most  frequent,  it  will  be  observed  that  every  other  day  in  October 
and  March  is  wittiout  rain,  while  in  intervening  months  the  frequency  of  rain  is  somewhat  greater, 
rising  in  December  to  three  days  out  of  four.  In  middle  and  eastern  Oregon,  however,  the  rain 
falls  with/lesser  frequency,  according  to  its  distance  from  the  coast,  nowhere  ofteuer,  on  the  aver- 
age, than  every  other  day  in  Washington  Territory,  and  about  once  in  three  days  in  Oregon  dur- 
ing December,  the  rainy  month;  while  during  October  and  March  the  weather  is  usually  clear  and 
fine,  rain  falling  over  the  greater  part  of  these  sections  only  one  day  in  five  or  six. 

An  examination  of  the  percentages  of  rain-fall  for  the  different  months  has  also  been  made  (see 
Appendix  No.  3).  If  the  rain  fell  equally  throughout  the  year  it  would  follow  that  8.3  per  cent, 
should  fall  each  month.  For  the  sake  of  comparative  purposes,  it  has  been  assumed  that  a  icet 
month  is  one  where  12.7  per  cent,  of  rain  falls,  and  a  very  wet  month  where  double  the  usual  amount 
falls,  or  17  per  cent.  In  like  manner,  a  dry  month  is  one  where  only  4  per  cent,  of  the  annual  rain- 
fall occurs;  and  a  very  dry  one  where  2  per  cent,  or  less,  is  noted. 

It  appears  from  the  record  that  there  are  many  places  in  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory 
where  there  is  no  very  wet  month,  but  at  exceptional  stations  with  a  very  wet  month,  such  excess 
of  rain  fall  occurs  in  December  or  January,  with  percentages  of  the  annual  rain-fall  rarely  exceed- 
ing 18  or  10.  During  the  remaining  months  of  the  year,  except  July  and  August,  it  is  a  tolerably 
general  rule  that  the  rain-fall  is  fairly  distributed,  with  a  greater  tendency  to  heavier  rains  in 
February  and  November  than  in  May,  June,  September,  and  October.  Nearly  all  of  Oregon  and 
Washington  Territory  experiences  very  dry  Julys  and  Augusts;  the  rain-fall,  fortunately  for  these 
States,  being  deficient,  while  clear  and  sunshiny  days  are  particularly  frequent  at  that  season  of 
the  year  when  the  staple  crops  have  fully  ripened.  The  alternation  of  wet  and  dry  seasons  renders 
it  possible  for  crops  to  be  raised,  with  certainty  that  the  rain-fall  will  come  during  certain  months, 
and  be  followed  later  by  fair  weather  suitable  for  harvesting. 

TEMPERATURE. 

On  Chart  No.  5  is  represented  the  mean  annual  temperature.  It  shows  at  a  glance  the  remark- 
ably equable  temperature  conditions  which  prevail  in  these  States,  the  entire  range  of  mean  annual 
temperature  over  this  territory  being  but  8.5°,  from  45.3°  at  Fort  Colville,  in  northeastern  Wash, 
ington  Ter.  to  53.80  at  Ashland,  Oregon.  The  mean  annual  temperature,  however,  is  not  always 
a  satisfactory  evidence  of  equable  temperature  throughout  the  year,  but  an  examination  of  Chart 
No.  6  shews  the  mildness  of  the  mean  summer  temperature  from  June  to  August.  In  both  States 
there  is  but  a  small  area,  the  valley  of  the  Upper  Columbia,  where  the  mean  temperature  rises 
above  70°  Fahrenheit, for  the  summer  months;  at  the  same  time  the  temperature  in  the  neighbor- 
hood of  Puget  Sound  and  along  the  coast  region  is  remarkably  equable  and  comfortable,  and  in 
300  miles  of  latitude  the  entire  range  is  practically  insignificant,  being  only  3.6°  Fahrenheit,  ranging 
from  55.7°  at  Tort  Angeles,  Wash.,  to  59.3°  at  Fort  Stevens,  Oregon.  During  the  winter 
months,  December,  January,  and  February,  the  mean  temperature  (see  Chart  No.  7)  of  more  than 


CLIMATE  OF  OREGDN  AND  WASHINGTON  TERRITORY.  7 

one-half  of  these  States  is  above  the  freezing  point,  and  along  the  immediate  Gulf  coast  ranges 
between  40°  and  45°.  The  only  portions  of  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory  in  which  freezing 
temperatures  prevail  for  any  considerable  time,  are , in  the  more  elevated  regions  including,  in 
Washington  Territory,  the  great  plains  of  the  Columbia  River,  and  in  southeastern  Oregoj  the 
high  plateaus  near  the  headwaters  of  the  tributaries  of  the  Columbia  and  Snake  Rivers. 

With  a  view  to  determining,  in  the  most  exact  way,  the  equability  of  temperature  in  Oregon 
and  Washington  Territory,  the  temperature  variability  of  a  large  number  of  stations  has  been 
computed  from  October  to  March  (see  Appendix  No.  G),  these  months  being  selected  as  those 
in  which  the  greatest  changes  are  experienced. 

The  variability  of  temperature  means  the  change  which  takes  place  in  the  daily  mean  tem- 
perature from  one  day  to  another,  irrespective  of  whether  the  temperature  rises  or  falls,  and  is 
the  surest  test  of  equability  and  freedom  from  violent  changes. 

It  appears  that  the  variability  during  these  months  in  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory 
rarely  exceeds  one  and  a  half  degrees  Fahrenheit,  and  in  many  cases  is  less  than  one  degree; 
thus  showing  in  these  States  an  equability  of  temperature  which  is  unequaled  in  any  other  part  of 
the  United  States,  except  along  the  immediate  coast  line  in  California,  from  Cape  Mendociuo  to 
San  Diego. 

To  summarize,  Oregon  and  Washington  Territory  are  favored  with  a  climate  of  unusual  mild- 
ness and  equability;  while  the  immediate  coast  regions  have  very  heavy  rain  falls,  yet  such  rain 
occurs  during  the  winter  months  of  December  to  February,  and  in  all  cases  the  wet  season  gives 
place  gradually  to  the  dry  season,  during  July  and  August.  While  the  preponderating  amount 
of  rain  falls  during  the  winter,  yet  the  spring,  early  summer,  and  late  fall  are  marked  by  moderate 
rains  at  not  infrequent  intervals. 

These  climatic  conditions  favor  to  a  marked  extent  the  growth  of  most  cereals  and  other  im- 
portant staple  crops. 

As  to  the  constituents  of  the  soil  and  the  distribution  of  arable  laud,  this  office  is  not  in  pos- 
session of  the  necessary  data  on  which  to  express  a  satisfactory  opinion. 
I  am,  very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

A.  W.  GREELY, 
Chief  Signal  Officer.
